There are a few ways to do this..  chan_bluetooth is one if you have a
mobile that speaks bluetooth.  www.cellsocket.com if you have a
compatible phone.  And some others have previously mentioned (and I
forgot, the archives have it or maybe the posters would be nice and
repost) devices that work like cellsocket.  Basically cellsocket and
similar devices are a charging base station for mobiles that provide a
FXS port on the mobile side.  Connect it to an FXO port and you can use
it as a normal phone. 

Additionally there are internal devices that work directly as a mobile
but is fixed in the computer (pccard or usb typically) if you dont have
the need to remove the mobile and take it with you when you arent at
home/office.
